Donovan's Birthday

Yesterday was Donovan's birthday. I CAN NOT believe that my baby boy is already three years old. Kids grow up too dang fast. He had a fun day and has really been enjoying his train he got from Grandma Great. I will have to post pictures of that later. Here are a few from his party.

Rainy Day

Between rainstorms last Saturday the kids played outside on the trampoline. It started to sprinkle a little so they got the tent to protect them. (Too bad there is a big hole in the top!) It started raining harder and Donovan didn't like it one bit. He got out and started crying!
I like these two pictures cuz you can see the rain coming down. Nathan went out to save Donovan.
We went out front to see if there were any good puddles so that I could teach Addison the joy of puddle jumping, and we saw these two rainbows. What a beautiful day! I love autumn rainstorms!

Big Helper

Two of Donovan's favorite things to do are be with Dad and play in the water. So when Nathan was cleaning the driveway Donovan really wanted to help. Nathan had the hose from the front of the house and Donovan had the hose from the back of the house. I thought it was really cute so I took some pictures! Donovan kept accidentally spraying Nathan....well one time wasnt an accident, I told him to do it.

Nathan got tired of being sprayed and so he sprayed Donovan back. Well he started screaming. I was trying to get a picture but he kept coming over to me because he wanted his clothes changed. After we changed him he went right backout to help. This time he was very careful to not spray Daddy! I thought I would also include this picture instead of doing a separate post. He is like his dad in so many ways. His story book reader wasnt working right so he got a screw driver and took the battery cover off to check the batteries. I didnt think he would get it off, but he did. This is when he was putting it back on. I just thought it was crazy that he could do that and he is only three!

Bear Lake-August 2008

My Awsome Hike

On August 16th I did the annual Fenn family hike. We hiked up Timpanoke and down Timpanogus. It is a 12 mile hike to the lake or 14 miles to the summit. We only went to the lake and that was enough to kick my butt. I was pretty sore the next day. It was fun though.

This is our group. I am in the middle(ish).

This is my shoes before the hike. Arent they nice and white?
This is one of many waterfalls along the hike.
This is at the cut off to either go to the lake or to the summit. Its Timpanogus Basin.
Here is the lake and what used to be the glacier. It has shrunk a lot. The lake is clear and beautiful. It is actually bigger than this picture makes it look. The picture doesnt do it justice.

This is a waterfall just over the other side.Here is the after picture of my shoes. Pretty dirty huh?
